Chapter 24 Father's Trust
"It's true. I dare not lie about this matter. If my father doesn't believe it, I can use a small piece of land to do experiments first. If it works, I can start large-scale planting."
After answering, Wei Ruo looked at Wei Mingting, but she wasn't sure what Wei Mingting's attitude would be.
Wei Mingting had a serious expression and a stern tone: "Ruo'er, do you know how big a deal it is to be able to grow crops on saline-alkali land?"
"I know. Father, I went to the north of the city a few days ago. I saw many farmers and fishermen turned into beggars on the way. Barren and limited."
"Father, I know this is a big deal, but if it comes to fruition, it will be a good thing for the family and the people. It will not only bring income to our family, but also increase the cultivated land in Xingshan County and increase food production. At that time, we can Feed more people; I hope my father will give me a chance, if not, I am willing to accept punishment.”
Wei Ruolai's words made Wei Mingting look surprised, and he looked at Wei Ruolai again.
Wei Ruo stood where he was, neither dodging nor dodging. She had already expected such a situation when she decided to talk to Yun about the wasteland in the south of the city.
"Okay, very good." Wei Mingting, who was always serious, suddenly said two "yes".
He is a strict father and rarely gives praise to his children. Even Wei Yichen, who is outstanding in his studies, rarely gives such clear praise.
This surprised Yun who was beside him.
Wei Mingting said to Wei Ruo: "It's very valuable for you to have such an idea. My father will discuss this matter with the county magistrate. Regardless of whether it can be achieved afterwards, it is always good for you to have this kind of heart."
Wei Ruo raised his head with a surprised expression.
Wei Mingting agreed so happily that she never thought of it, and she has already made plans to communicate with Wei Mingting again.
"What's wrong? Don't you have confidence?" Wei Mingting asked.
"No, I'm confident."
"Then let's do it well. I heard from your mother that you still miss the farming life in the countryside these days when you return home. You also grew a lot of vegetables in the garden."
"yes."
"Although farming is indecent, it is never shameful. My court has always attached importance to farming. It is a good thing to be able to cultivate land and cultivate good land for the country and the people."
Unexpectedly, Wei Mingting highly affirmed Wei Ruo's behavior.
"My daughter knows."
"Well, it's getting late, you can go back and rest first, I will send someone to notify you when things become clear."
Wei Mingting looked very tired, so he didn't leave Wei Ruo to say more, and let Wei Ruo go back after talking about the things to be discussed.
On the way back, Wei Ruo thought about Wei Mingting's words.
In the original novel, Wei Mingting didn't appear much. Firstly, he was busy with official duties, secondly, he had such a personality, and thirdly, he died early.
That's why Wei Ruo didn't know much about him before.
But the conversation just now gave her a different understanding of Wei Mingting.
After Wei Ruo left, Yun's servant Wei Mingting changed his clothes and re-bandaged his arm.
"Husband, Ruo'er is a girl after all, if she goes to the fields all day long, I'm afraid it will be bad for her in the future..." Yun told Wei Mingting about her worries.
"I don't ask her to be as knowledgeable and reasonable as Wanwan, but if she acts like a peasant woman all day long, that's fine too." Yun said worriedly.
"Ma'am, in Xingshan County in recent years, you should have seen the suffering of the common people. What are the low-level people suffering like? What are you talking about? People only have the mood to think about elegant and vulgar issues when they are full. Even life is gone, so what is good or bad?"
Wei Mingting and Yun's point of view are different. In the past few years in Xingshan County, he has seen a lot of life and death, and he has also seen a lot of poverty. He felt that in the face of these, the tricks played by the dignitaries in the capital were all meaningless.
"What my husband said is true. For the common people, the most important thing is to have enough food and clothing."
Yun didn't expect that Wei Ruo's thoughts coincided with her husband's thoughts, and she and her husband have been dating for many years, and she doesn't quite understand his husband's thoughts in many things.
"Husband, it's better not to think about these things. It's rare to go home and have a good rest. You don't say anything about your injuries."
Yun didn't want Wei Mingting to worry about these trivial matters anymore.
Knowing that my husband must not have had a good rest in the barracks, he is so tired and injured. Although the wound is not deep, if it is not treated properly, it will leave the root of the disease.
Wei Mingting really needs to rest, and will go back to the barracks early tomorrow morning.
But he was still interested in the matter Wei Ruo mentioned.
Before going to the military camp the next day, he went to the magistrate's office and talked with the magistrate about the wasteland in the south of the city.
The county magistrate learned that the Wei family wanted to try to cultivate the wasteland, so he readily agreed.
It's not that he disagrees with other people to do this, but he is worried about letting other people enter and leave the South City Gate.
But the Wei family didn't need to worry, so they agreed very readily.
After getting the result, Wei Mingting sent a letter home.
Seeing that her husband is so concerned about this matter, Mrs. Yun has nothing to say.
The Yun family called Wei Ruo to her, and first told her the good news: "Ruo'er, your father has already sent a letter about the south of the city, and you can start planting a small area there. If it is effective, it will be a great achievement." pieces."
That being said, the Yun family has no hope for Wei Ruo's success.
"Okay." Wei Ruo was also very happy, he didn't expect Wei Mingting to be so hardworking and finish the matter so quickly.
"Your father also said that if you don't need to be too stressed, it doesn't matter if you don't get results, and there won't be too much loss."
"Yes." Wei Ruo was a little moved by Wei Mingting's attitude.
Yun immediately said: "But Ruo'er, you are not young anymore, you should go to school at this time, I originally planned to let you go to the magistrate's mansion to study with Wanwan and the others after you have learned the rules with Madam Li , Mrs. Zhixian also agreed to this matter."
Wei Ruo: "I don't want to go to the magistrate's house to study. I am not with them. It will be very difficult to force them to study together. Why don't you let me do something I am good at."
Yun's: "Ruo'er, you need to change some of your previous thoughts. As a daughter of the Wei family, you should learn to be a daughter who is well-educated, up-to-date, elegant, and intelligent. Of course, because of the food you ate in the countryside in the past few years Bitter, I will not be too harsh on you, I don't ask you to be as knowledgeable as Wanwan."
Wei Ruo: "But I may not be able to keep up with Mr. Fu's teaching in the magistrate's office. If you really want me to learn, I don't want to go to the magistrate's office to learn."
Not being able to keep up was an excuse Wei Ruo made for himself, the main purpose was not to be with Wei Qingwan, Qian Zhilan and the others.
